Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Invisible  like all the reasons
Dark  and cold like all the  seasons
Things  are not as you would have  them
I'm  no man and you're no woman
 Second verse same chords:
 I guess I hope to see you sometime
 Though our paths will never intertwine again
 I hope you notice
 I'm no hare and you're no tortoise
 here
 To play the  I slide thru D and Dm on my acoustic, playing the last three strings only
And  I'm touched by the same sad feeling  of dread
Just  to know that you can't wait  to see me dead
An  idea in your head and  a compass in your hand
   …
 On a mission to a foreign land
 Third verse same chords:
 So now I'm out for political favors
 A salary that corresponds with labor
 Big house and a morning paper
 Good fences that make good neighbors
 Chords for the final rush:
 Play the same chords to the end of the song, even if Em sometimes sounds a bit different…:
 I'm at the  end
 This here my rope
 Another year  to write and read the  book I wrote
 Etc.etc…
 ...Now dialing out
 For a good time
 To bathroom wall
 Toss it a dime
 Dead king dead swing
 Ali look out!
 We have new rules
 To do without
 You talk of Jesus
 Until I'm well red
 The man is
 Swimming
 Swimming
 Swimming in my head
 Why settle down?
 Why even try?
 Me tiger mouth
 Meet bloodless eye
 So drop dead stock
 What fallen tree?
 I leave New York
 For other cities
 Which let me play
 With gas and fire
 Took out an ad
 Best friend for hire
 Know that Mama told me
 Never to come
 But I came softly, slowly
 Banging me metal drum
 Like Berryman
 Bed-wet poet fears
 That better man drink taller beers
 Like scientist
 I lost my glove
 To bloody fists
 And harder drugs
 So split the night
 And we get young
 Like sacred cow
 Without a tongue who sang a song sing
 "time does not cut deep
 But cuts most absurdly....."
 so la da dum
